  • Been raving about my $3500 2021 (maybe 2020) m1 max 64gb outlasting the Windows x86 laptops I'd probably have replaced 2 maybe 3 times by now, but it absolutely feels slower this year to the point I reinstalled macos for the first time.

    I don't know what they're doing but if they think I'm going to drop $6k for the similar m6 max now doing some planned obsolescence stuff I'll never be able to prove they're out of their minds.

    I've heard golden gate is much faster than Tahoe but we'll see.

  • I read this as hidutil and had a mini heart attack.

  • "Despite giving Apple 100% reliable steps to reproduce, they asked me if the issue still occurred in the latest beta, and if it does, then I should submit an iOS sysdiagnose." No one looked at your repro steps, and no one researched your bug. They're just looking to cull the bug list. If you don't respond immediately, your radar is closed.

  • Was the error visible somewhere through Console.app? This is a major annoyance for me with Cocoa/AppKit apps that basically have terminal usage secondary.

  • > Yes, Apple requested an iOS sysdiagnose for a macOS bug

    Dealing with Apple's labyrinth maze that is Radar/Feedback is an exhausting nightmare, honestly. It leaves users intentionally blind as to the state of any FB's they raise, and (presumably unintentionally) gaslights users who attempt to improve the state of Apple's declining software products by repeatedly asking them for spindumps/sysdiagnoses that will subsequently either be ignored (sometimes for years), or re-requested in a future release.

    I gave up attempting to engage with it years ago. Apple don't want technical feedback unless it's P1 security.

  • So I guess ram disks are deprecated too? (AFAIR hdiutil was the only way to create them)

  • I like how the $4.5T company can’t pay for the 100 engineering hours a year to maintain this, or just fork over the Claude tokens to do it, while they keep telling us how productive AI is making them (which, to be clear, has indeed made me a lot more productive).

  • Given xip has been deprecated for a long time now, yet still is the format Xcode is distributed in, I highly doubt hidutil will ever disappear from macOS. Apple just won’t really update it anymore, just like they haven’t changed xip (not like hidutil has seen any significant changes, but still)
